Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Alex Planes]

  RJR Nabisco would soon fall prey to a far larger leveraged buyout -- four years later, Kohlberg Kravitz Roberts (NYSE: KKR  ) spent a record-setting $25 billion to acquire the company, providing post-merger RJR Nabisco shareholders an impressive 50% annualized rate of return. This event was the high-water mark of the leveraged-buyout era, and it occurred shortly after a federal jury indicted Milken on racketeering charges. KKR's buyout of RJR Nabisco later became the subject of the era-defining book (and later TV movie) Barbarians at the Gate.

  The company has a current ROE of 18.18% which is higher than the industry median and the ones exhibited by Legg Mason (LM) and Invesco (IVZ). In general, analysts consider ROE ratios in the 15-20% range as representing attractive levels for investment. So for investors looking those levels or more, KKR & Co. (KKR), SEI Investments (SEIC) and T. Rowe Price Group Inc. (TROW) could be the option. It is very important to understand this metric before investing and it is important to look at the tre! nd in ROE over time.

  Buyouts go big
  On July 24, 2006, HCA (NYSE: HCA  ) , the largest for-profit hospital operator in the U.S., agreed to what was at the time the largest leveraged buyout in history on July 24, 2006. A $21 billion offer from a team led by HCA founders Thomas Frist Sr. and Jr. (father and brother, respectively, of former Senator Bill Frist) and supported by Bain Capital and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (NYSE: KKR  ) , among others, would also assume nearly $12 billion in HCA debt. The $33 billion total value of the deal thus eclipsed the nominal value of KKR's legendary $31 billion leveraged buyout of RJR Nabisco, which had held the record for LBO size since 1989.
